#soarla

Yep, I’m still getting out concepts for this dragon project!  This is another “shadow” dragon, but this time it’s Soarla’s shadow.  She is cruel and vicious, using illusions to influence and fool her victims before striking to kill.  As a shadow, her venom has been replaced with the corruption of the Shadow.  If one manages to survive her attacks, they may still be driven mad by the corruption.

Despite the odds, I managed to do this recently.  It’s a Night Cobra that lives in Soarla’s mesa.  These things have a venomous bite and spit poison.  They come out at night when it’s harder to see them.  They burrow underground during hot daylight hours but stay close enough to the surface to soak up the warmth which lasts them all night.  They are magical creatures that will follow commands from the dragon Soarla.

Okay, so this dragon got a HUGE redesign and the only image I had of the first from years ago was one of the sloppiest sketches I’ve ever seen.  Instead I started from scratch and remade her appearance completely.  Her name is Soarla.  Her abilities have to do with poison, venom, and acid.  She’s very snake-like and rarely uses her wings.  She lives in a mesa, desert area and claims it as her domain.

Did this scale and color reference for all my dragon characters.  Now it’s much easier to see size differences!  I put a human in at the end for size comparison with Ruby, but there aren’t any humans in the actual story.
